What year for this Colt ?

[Pappabear]

This Colt is a HBAR Match Target. Detachable carry handle.
Serial Number CCH0105...

It has a neutered carrier and seems to be Colt??, the Bolt is MP tested and has the infamous C

Other question. I have seen a lot of HBAR's. Is it rare to have a detachable carry handle?

Lets hear it Los Pony aficionado 's

Just adding in 'guessed at' digits for the ones past the 5, this thingy (http://www.coltsmfg.com/CustomerServices/SerialNumberLookup.aspx) says 1997 MT6700, Match Target, Competition H-Bar. BiggerHammer (http://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/ar15serial.html) seems to agree, more or less. (It says 1998...)

PB, I have the 16" version called the Match Target Competition HBAR II (6731). It too has the removable carry handle.

Larry,

send me a pick on email, thanks. What is the II version, how is it different?

Hurry up with that pic, Larry. :mad:

Email sent. The only difference I'm able to find is barrel length. How's your trigger, since mine is about the worst trigger I've ever felt on an AR?

[Pappabear]

My trigger was about 5.5lbs, and not bad. I had to weigh it because I thought, not too bad.

[darr3239]

Yep, I'm not saying my trigger is the norm for Colt ARs, just that it is very gritty, stagey and heavy. The trigger on our 901 is better, by a little, but it got replaced with an ALG ACT. Major improvement!
